18:1 |
Now he also told them a parable, that we should continually pray and not cease, |
18:2 |
saying: “There was a certain judge in a certain city, who did not fear God and did not respect man. |
18:3 |
But there was a certain widow in that city, and she went to him, saying, ‘Vindicate me from my adversary.’ |
18:4 |
And he refused to do so for a long time. But afterwards, he said within himself: ‘Even though I do not fear God, nor respect man, |
18:5 |
yet because this widow is pestering me, I will vindicate her, lest by returning, she may, in the end, wear me out.’ ” |
18:6 |
Then the Lord said: “Listen to what the unjust judge said. |
18:7 |
So then, will not God grant the vindication of his elect, who cry out to him day and night? Or will he continue to endure them? |
18:8 |
I tell you that he will quickly bring vindication to them. Yet truly, when the Son of man returns, do you think that he will find faith on earth?” |
